Mind your own business mister
Damn.... free internet in Portland airport!!!! Its a shitty airport... no TV screens... not enough coffee shops...old carpets... tickets costly too... $1000 to fly across the country!!!!... I fly international cheaper. But all that is excused since they have free internet :)
I have been to many airports and I am always like "I wish wireless internet was free here" and finally my prayers are answered. I am always atleast an hour early at the airport... I hate to be late for anything. I take all factors into consideration while planning my trips... traffic, weather, directions. I even add some buffer time for "unfortunate events" and with all these time buffers I am always early for everything. At the airports I need something to keep me preoccupied.. I usually try reading books.., watch sports on TV but nothing beats surfing the net :)
Portland seems like a nice city. I always research cities I visit so that I know where I would want to settle down. I love Austin and southern california. Portland is beautiful with huge coniferous trees. Its 1 hr drive from the beach on one side and the mountain on the other. Its close to northern california with its huge sequoia trees. The temperature is around 40- 50 degrees. But there are 2 things that suck here. It rains throughout winter and the traffic here is extremely bad. The interstates are like I 85 with 3 lanes so office hr rides are always bumper to bumper.
People here do a lot of small talk.. a couple of sentences are ok but they go on and on.. its worse than south carolina here... I hate doing small talk.. I hate to smile at strangers... my face hurts with so much smiling.
Here's my ideal city: close to the sea and the mountains. many adventure sports opportunities. temperature between 75- 45 throughout the year. Has its own NFL, NBA, MLB teams. Easy traffic. Many engineering companies there so I can always shift. Many restaurants... Absolutely no snow. Moderate rains. People don't smile or talk too much... I haven't found such city yet ...
Will be in the office tomorrow and then its bye bye to work till Jan 19th. :)

Your ideal city is 'Raleigh'
Vipul's right. If not Raleigh, then Charlotte. How ironic.
lol Raleigh is one of the shittiest cities I have been to.. Its not even a city... its a village at best :) It is small, has pathetic nightlife, no professional sports clubs. It has one of the smallest airports. Dosen't have decent restaurants. I was taken to one of its beautiful lakes (bond lake) and it was shitty too. Now many will argue that real estate prices are low... I think I know why :))

sunil, if you are the moderator of techscribes, could you add "word verification" in comment postings? It would reduce the junk comments added to meaningful articles like "Stock trading system", "iCar" etc.
Goto dashboard->change settings->comments. Select 'yes' for the option "Show word verification for comment". Thanks!
